After 20 months of going full-time on my Shopify app, Monk, we've finally hit $250k ARR ๐Ÿฅ‚

This legit feels surreal. What started off just as three 20-somethings trying to pay rents has now ballooned into a viable, growing SaaS business. All being done remotely from ourโ€ฆ twitter.com/i/web/status/1โ€ฆ

$10M/ARR in 15 months

Faster than Slack, Zoom, Shopify & Hubspot

Fully bootstrapped. Just the boys @rsinstantly, @nils100km & Tim

Utterly insane and insanely grateful ๐Ÿ™

Nothing better than SaaS. I need to seriously build another one, this has been going for 4 years now. Revenue has gone up 30% every year. Itโ€™s choppy AF short term but stable long term.

Literally spend 1 hour per month on this. Does ~$22k/mo.

We were warned that summer was going to be brutal for edtech startups, but the churn hasn't hit us yet ๐Ÿ˜…

This is our first summer, so it's quite anxiety inducing lol

But if we can keep our pace, we should hit $100k MRR by end of June ๐Ÿ—“

Exciting times! ๐Ÿค

๐ŸŽ‰ Our startup just hit 80k MRR ๐ŸŽ‰

In October, we had a bug that accidentally doubled our MRR on Stripe ๐Ÿฅฒ

This visual bug was so demoralizing because we felt like it'd take forever to get past our 'fake' all-time high ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Well, we just beat it ๐Ÿ˜‡

If I had focused on just one app, I wouldn't have reached this goal.
